Genetic Programming Theory and Practice Workshop

Starting in 2003 the Center for the Study of Complex Systems (CSCS) at the University of Michigan has hosted an annual workshop on Genetic Programming Theory and Practice. This workshop focuses on how theory can inform practice and what practice reveals about theory. The goal is to evaluate the state-of-the-art in genetic programming by discussing different theories and their value to practitioners of the art and to review problems and observations from practice that challenge existing theory.

This is a small, invitation-only workshop on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The workshop format is informal with plenty of time for discussion.

A series of edited volumes have resulted from these workshops, published by Kluwer/Springer. See the individual workshop pages for additional information about the workshops, the papers presented and the resulting books.

We gratefully acknowledge the generous support from the following organizations and people who have contributed to one or more of the GPTP workshops:
